Sukiyabashi Park, located in Ginza 5-chome, has been beautifully renewed with the timing of Tokyu Plaza Ginza, which opened in 2016.
There is a lot of greenery, benches are well arranged, and there are many people who take a break all day long, but the Japanese dogwood in this park is still blooming and some fruits are beginning to ripen.
Japanese dogwood (Yamahoshi, mountain hat) is a deciduous Takagi of the genus Japanese dogwood subgenus. Flowers open from June to July and fruits ripen red from August to September.
What looks like white petals is not the original petals, but the total bracts (the leaves at the base of the flower) like dogwood.
The ripe fruit can be eaten as it is, and it seems to have a sweetness like mango, so it is made into fruit wine.
Next month, the maple leaves in this park will turn beautifully.
